Rick Porcello’s next start will be far from an ordinary outing for the veteran right-hander.

Porcello is slated to throw the first pitch in Major League Baseball’s inaugural game in London on Saturday when the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees open a two-game series. The 2016 American League Cy Young winner will cherish the moment, but he’s not losing sight of the important matter at hand.
